Hello to every TSG member (especially the ones who will help me :P)!

Before I write down my problem, I would like to list my equipment:
- ASUS P5PE-VM mobo
- HDD #1: 160 GB SATA Samsung winchester, originally in 1st Master, functioned for about 1.5 years, was running Windows XP SP3
- HDD #2: 500 GB SATA Samsung winchester, originally in 4th (?!) Slave, functioned for about 0.5 years
- HDD #3: 80 GB IDE Seagate winchester, originally not plugged in
- HDD #4: 80 GB SATA Samsung winchester, originally not plugged in
- 350W PSU, used by an nVidia 7600 GS, the two hard drives, One DLDVD-RW drive and a 2.8 Ghz Intel Celeron CPU.

And now my story:
About a week ago I was doing nothing really stressing for the computer, just browsing or something like that, then I heard that one of my winchesters stopped spinning and the computer froze. When I rebooted, after POST I got a "S.M.A.R.T. command failed" error message, but I could boot by pressing F1. From windows I couldn't access HDD #1's S.M.A.R.T. with the application "HD Sentinel". The computer worked for about 4 days with the same error on each boot and without S.M.A.R.T., then when I started a video playback while running several other programs in the background, I got a KERNEL_INPAGE_ERROR BSOD (I don't have the dump). Since then the PC doesn't recognize HDD #1, but is trying for about 2 minutes. HDD #2 is operates normally, but when I try to install Windows (tried XP SP3 and 7) on it, the installer says something like that partition is not capable of running Windows, even though all of my partitions are NTFS, and I get the same error if I format a partition from the windows installer. HDD #3 is the same as #2, and #4's state is the same as #1's, but that can be because it has been faulty since a few years, I can't remember.

I also replaced the SATA cables with brand new ones.

If you post any software, please post ones that work on Ubuntu 9.04, as that is the only OS, I can run at the moment.
